The clip appeared on YouTube earlier this week but minus information of what movie the stunt was being filmed for.

What is known, however, is that those on the set came agonisingly close to disaster as the film crew fled the high-flying vehicle.

The terror is obvious as people scatter when as the car loses a wheel while cartwheeling in the air and then crashes to ground heading straight towards the area where the film crew were originally standing.

While little is known about the film project, online social media speculation is that it was a American crew working in China.
